Textual analysis point 13

The opining of the movie “ Dirty dancing “ starts with a black background with music going on. The music used express the love and the passion for dancing. It’s also the kind of music which makes you want to dance. It gives the feeling and the desire to listen and to watch the rest of the movie.

The dark lighting in the opening gives a sense of depth in the movement and the emotions of the dancers. Also the slow emotion attract the audience to focus more in the details of each scene. Moreover, changing the shots between the dancers doesn’t give the audience a chance to be board of the slow emotion. It actually attracts their attention more.

In the editing part the harmony between the picture and the music is coordinated. There is a presided rhythm which makes it easier for the viewer to stay on track. In addition, the font and the used colour suits perfectly with the background colours. The combination of pink and grey makes it nice, easy and clear to read.

For the filming, the opining relied on zoomed and focused shots. You can see close ups on the dancers themselves to follow the dance movements. Also they used three basic shots in the opining which are Arc shot, hand held shot and focus pull shot. All of the previous shots were meant to express the passion of dancing to the audience.
